    I’m paraphrasing but this is what Obama said to . “I’m sorry for your loss but f**k you.” In 8 years Obama DOJ only prosecuted 2 cops. The one who killed was not one of them. He is still on the force and got overtime pay for appearing in court.

    1970: We remember killings by National Guard at Kent State University. (And we should know stories of Jackson State 5/15/1970 and Orangeburg 2/8/1968). More:

    Today you are seeing the establishment try and spin a stunning night for Labour as a failure - who would now be the largest party in parliament. As I recently said the media is waging a propaganda war - and it’s against the British public

    So terrible that . and . were pressured into canceling event. The war propagandists won’t give an inch. They know that there are people who want to hear a counter narrative. They try to stamp it out every where.

    After a NeoCon campaign, Leeds City Council cancels the ‘Media on Trial’ event at the City Museum on 27th May, where ex-UK Ambassador to Syria Peter Ford was one of the speakers. Whatever your view of the Syrian conflict this is another dark day for free speech in the UK.
